Wooo... and there's lots more. This web site has no affiliation with any pump manufacturer.

I’m working on pump sizing software that is easy to use and will run on a browser. Currently
the software available is expensive and time intensive to learn. It is geared to industry,
not small projects. I want to provide a tool that anyone can use from the git-go without
consulting anything and at a minimal cost.

The document below is a primer on pump systems, it’s not required reading but will help
the user with pump system concepts and terminology; and also, fascinating aspects of
fluids in motion. If the Romans can do it, we can do it too, see the following document.
Understanding pump systems

The software will be intuitive and only require tracing the route of the piping from the
suction tank to the end point including a pump in between. How do you trace the route?
Well… that will be easy too. Users are provided with examples to help them get started
that can easily be edited to their particular circumstance. A later version will be
available on a mobile, design your system on the way to the hardware store.

Some of the features will be: graphic mouse driven environment, pump system templates
for a quick start, pick a pipe size based on the stated flow rate, pressure, flow,
velocity information at important locations, warnings on extreme conditions, etc.

One formula for all systems, one to bind them all...There is only one formula required to analyze any system, here is one page
that explains the formula and another page with some examples .
The relationship between velocity and flow in a liquid system.

The previous incarnation of this site was www.lightmtypump.com, yeah I know it seemed like a good idea at the time, I changed it to www.pumpfundamentals. The prior site to lightmypump.com
was called www.fluidedesign.com it was abandonned (for bizarre reasons)and morphed into this site. Unfortunately by mistake, the domain name was allowed to lapse
and someone else picked it up. Before that I had a site called www.pumpsRme.com, not very original I know, that was in 1992, everything was new then on the internet.
